The Sociological Revolution - From the Enlightenment to the Global Age (Paperback, Reissue)

Controversially turning away from the current debates which surround "social theory", this book offers historical analysis of the "profound burden" of sociology and its implications today. The author provides detailed studies of a number of contemporary theories, ranging from historical materialism, phenomenology, structuralism and world system theory. He contends that the rightful heir of the sociological tradition is the dynamic sociology of knowledge, in particular the figuration research programme of Norbert Elias. In its sociological analysis of philosophy, the book ranges from analyses of the Hegelian Apogee to Marx's Theory of Knowledge, combined with an examination of the current condition of sociology. "The Sociological Revolution" might be of interest to students across a number of disciplines, including philosophy, sociology, the history of ideas and cultural studies.
